Check dmesg and see if you are having hardware errors on the drive. Make sure
it is not failing

My company runs BackupPC on an Ubuntu machine. Everything typically run
without any problems until the other day when, out the blue, an archive
started failing. (I run it manually twice a month). I've tried to run it
twice and it's failed each time with the same error. (Will paste below) I'm
using the same backup drive that I've been using, so the permissions haven't
change. The archive runs part way, before failing, so I can see two backup
files show up on the drive, but not the other 4. Individually, the all 6
machines are backing up as usual, except a 2 millisecond timeout issue
that happens periodically. (An issue I recently discovered but don't believe
is related to my current problem).
Here's the error that I get:
Archive failed (Error: /usr/share/backuppc/bin/BackupPC_tarCreate, compress
or split failed)
I've checked both the archive log and backupPC's log via the web interface
and they both list the same error.
What could be going wrong?
Thanks.
